Well seeing as the community is open to changes at this stage for where IC stands at the moment, I searched for ideas I posted long time ago and hope maybe could bring something new/fresh exciting. Hopefully with Torqez proposal of change to the structure with the higher ups, eventually mods can agree and push forward with ideas to test and actually follow through.

So, bump!

I think to make it work even better, may need to make buildings build instantly or 1 tick or something like that. And keep the galaxy small (systems close to each other) with a much smaller number of planets.

If 5min a tick is too long to fit enough ticks into 3 hours, then maybe make it 3 min a tick? That would be a 60 tick game while keeping in mind that building infra and units can be shortened all the way down to instantaneously built? And bump up the amount of cash/resources each building makes and/or reduce the costs of units and buildings. With small galaxy and small number of planets?
